I definitely am not quite inspired enough to read 600 pages of poetry, although your summary is intriguing. I however do plan on looking into some of these poems. I very much want to read “Hurry Up Please It’s Time” and maybe share it with my anatomy class.

Here is a link to it that also has some analysis notes: https://allpoetry.com/Hurry-Up-Please-It's-Time

It's pretty long and she refers to herself as "Ms. Dog" as an inversion of God--making herself the god of the poem. It also has some sexual themes. I think it would really depend on the members of the class on whether or not it'd be a good fit. If it you have them read it, let me know how it goes!
